Notes to Editors

About Applied Graphene Materials

Applied Graphene Materials was founded by Professor Karl Coleman in 2010 with its operations and processes based on technology that he initially developed at Durham University. The Group is based at the Wilton Site on Teesside and was admitted to AIM in November 2013.

Applied Graphene Materials has developed a proprietary bottom-up process which produces graphene nanoplatelets of consistently high purity using a continuous process. The Group deploys two patent protected manufacturing processes based on sustainable, readily available raw materials. These processes do not rely on the supply of graphite, unlike a number of other graphene production techniques. Applied Graphene Materials owns the intellectual property and know-how behind these processes.

Applied Graphene Materials works in partnership with its customers using its knowledge and expertise to provide bespoke graphene dispersions and formats to deliver enhancements and benefits for a wide range of applications.
